Chapter 35 Ultimately, it’s the shift from live sacrifice to offering.
Looking at the hypocritical smile of the other party, Qin Liu’s face remained expressionless.
This was the countless time she had heard the other party say this.
Was he really considering her?
Clearly not.
The other party didn’t see her as a human at all, but as a consumable.
A consumable for live sacrifice.
Gu Qianyang must have long ago realized that she had seen through the truth.
But this hypocritical old bastard was still pretending not to know anything and acting the part.
This smile was truly sickening.
“You are my best and greatest daughter.”
“Don’t worry, once I deal with this Night Walker who has been coveting you, you will be free.”
As he spoke, Gu Qianyang reached out his hand, attempting to pat Qin Liu’s head.
But the latter took two steps back, neither servile nor overbearing.
“Then I’ll await your good news, my dear father…”
Qin Liu specifically emphasized the pronunciation of the last two words.
Seeing that Qin Liu didn’t give him an opportunity, Gu Qianyang didn’t feel awkward and continued to speak with that same hypocritical smile.
“It’s getting late. After a while, I’ll have the servant bring breakfast. You should rest well in your room.”
“Don’t worry, I believe you will regain your freedom soon.”
After saying that, Gu Qianyang left the room.
Listening to the sound of the lock being re-secured from the outside, Qin Liu couldn’t help but sigh.
Freedom?
What was the difference between the freedom he spoke of and the so-called freedom of a certain great country in her previous life?
“He’s gone.”
Qin Liu crouched down slightly and said to Liu Haoyu, who was under the bed.
“Do you want to come out?”
“Of course… It’s so dusty here, Acho!”
Liu Haoyu sneezed again. He crawled out from under the bed, rubbed his nose, and muttered.
“Who’s talking about me?”
“Who knows?”
Qin Liu spread her hands, a little helpless.
“But more importantly, can you continue to teach me the Ghost Exorcism Technique? It’s really important to me.”
“Of course…” As she said this, Liu Haoyu suddenly thought of something. He took out Gu Mingyuan’s notebook from his pocket and said to Qin Liu, “Here, take this notebook and keep it safe.”
“Let me see.”
Qin Liu opened the notebook, but the contents made her scalp tingle.
“Human… experiments?”
“Where did you get this from?”
As an old good person, Qin Liu couldn’t bear to look at the bloody sins in the notebook.
“You know Gu Mingyuan, right? This notebook is his.”
Hearing this, Qin Liu fell completely silent.
Looking at the contents of the notebook, there was no doubt that what the other party was researching was closely related to her.
The black coffin that sustained life, the formation that sealed the Night Walker…
Was her fate already sealed?
Qin Liu suddenly couldn’t help but laugh and shake her head.
“So hypocritical.”
Although she felt emotional, Qin Liu still carefully put away the notebook.
Gu Qianyang’s sealing plan would naturally not stop because of the lack of a life-sustaining formation.
It would merely be a shift from live sacrifice to offering.
But as Liu Haoyu said, this was very important to her.
Qin Liu glanced at Liu Haoyu out of the corner of her eye.
This person came from the future, separated from her current era by nearly forty years…
If she wanted to see him again, she could only rely on this.
“But speaking of which,” Qin Liu seemed to have remembered something, “Didn’t you come to this timeline to find this thing too?”
“Yes.”
Liu Haoyu nodded.
Qin Liu fell silent again.
“After you figure out what’s in here, do you have to leave?”
“Pretty much. But it will probably take a week or two to figure things out. And more importantly… your future self is waiting for me.”
Liu Haoyu sighed with emotion.
He had been in this timeline for almost a week.
The Black Book said his time was stagnant, so a week passing here wouldn’t affect reality. Otherwise, Liu Haoyu would be extremely anxious.
However, this also showed that the Black Book lived up to its title as the King of Rebirth; its abilities were indeed terrifyingly powerful.
“I see…”
Qin Liu lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers. Liu Haoyu couldn’t see her expression clearly, but he gently patted her small head.
His emotional intelligence wasn’t low, so he could naturally see the reluctance in Qin Liu’s eyes.
Although only a week had passed, his arrival was like timely rain for this little loli who had suffered greatly from loneliness.
She naturally didn’t want him to leave.
“But there are still three weeks until I leave, so there’s no need to be too sentimental.”
“Come on, today’s lesson can’t be missed.”
With that, Liu Haoyu took out the Black Book and continued to teach Qin Liu the knowledge of the Ghost Exorcism Technique.
Time ticked by, second by second…
Soon, night descended again. Qin Liu, who had been studying all day, couldn’t help but yawn.
She had to admit that she had never been so serious and focused when studying mathematics and physics in her previous life.
With this body and the soul from her previous life, she grasped the knowledge of the Ghost Exorcism Technique very quickly.
She was so fast that Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but worry if he had remembered it all.
However, after repeated tests, he realized…
Comparing people really could drive one to death. In the end, Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but doubt life.
“Are you tired?”
Seeing Qin Liu yawn, Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but stretch.
Studying was tiring, but teaching was even more tiring. After teaching all day, even Liu Haoyu was a bit exhausted.
He rubbed his slightly aching waist and said.
“We’ll continue tomorrow. You can’t chew more than you can swallow… Actually, that principle doesn’t apply to you.”
“Mhm, mhm.”
Hearing Liu Haoyu say this, Qin Liu picked up a talisman and started working on the tabletop.
Liu Haoyu watched Qin Liu, who could now draw the Zhenlei Talisman, and felt a moment of melancholy.
Back then, when others saw him draw the Zhenlei Talisman within a year, they had to call him a genius.
Then what was this little pudding in front of him, who had only studied for a week?
And judging by the situation, she would probably master everything in his mind within a month…
However, mastering is one thing, and practical combat is another. Even if Qin Liu remembered all the knowledge of the Ghost Exorcism Technique, she would still be a weakling in a real fight and would need further training.
Putting down his teaching task, Liu Haoyu picked up the notebook and began to decipher the formation bit by bit.
He didn’t need to completely master this formation; he just needed to figure out how to activate it.
Once he figured it out, he could return to modern times and pull up the “Great Qin Liu.”
The thought of the “Great Qin Liu” lying weak in bed made Liu Haoyu a little anxious.
“I wonder how she’s doing over there… Acho!!”
Liu Haoyu sneezed violently again, rubbing his nose.
“Which bastard is talking about me behind my back?”
